A woman who received one of the kingdom’s longest ever royal insult sentences was freed from prison under a mass pardon marking the king’s birthday.
Anchan Preelert, 69, was jailed for 43 years in 2021 after sharing online audio clips on YouTube of an underground podcast host known as “DJ Banpodj”, a fierce critic of the monarchy.
